Neil Young, The Calgary Address:

"Thanks to my friends in the First Nations. Thanks to my crew, Thanks to all of the Canadians who supported our efforts to enable justice and truth for the First Nations living in Canada. Our journey across the great expanse ofCanada revealed the beauty of the people and the land once again and brought back the old feelings of home. To the leaders of Canada I say keep our word. Live up to the truth. Honour the treaties. To the foreign and domestic oil companies in our north, I say clean up your mess. Stop complaining. Talk to our First Nations and come toagreements to allow what you plan to do on their land, as it is represented in the treaties our forefathers reached with our First Nations. PEACE."- Neil Young, Canadian citizen since 1945. Neil Young
